So first, the auto attack chain does decent damage except that I really DON’T know why it has a half second cast time which swords for other professions have not,I’m absolutely sure that they are instant cast,it’s looking good too except the last animation which looks a bit wierd and I can’t really see what’s going on there
Skill 2: the damage is a bit weak, I would increase it a bit and also add a WHIRL FINISHER because that’s totally needed except you wan’t the profession to be like necromancers,the chill length is okay I wouldn’t suggest to make it longer
Skill 3: Okay now,this skill is the most underpowered skill I have ever seen, you can’t control it either AND it has NO EVADE on it plus the damage is WEAK
let’s compare it to a sword/pistol Thief: Pistol Whip NO COOLDOWN .. do you see this? NO cooldown, only cost is 6 initiative which is the thiefs source of energy anyways let’s continue, Pistol Whip hits 9 times, stuns your opponent for a half second and has evade on it for the whole duration of the skill AND it has great DPS, this skill was supposed to get me hyped for the Revenant and it just doesn’t make any sense to leave it that WEAK… Unrelenting Assault costs 15 energy AND has a ten second cooldown…NO EVADE and the DPS is just LOW and it feels like getting hit by a fly for the opponent, I also think that you should be able to switch off hitting foes you don’t want to hit, which is REALLY REALLY annoying, it also just makes sense because I think that a Revenant should be able to control who he is attacking… don’t you think???
Up next is Skill 4: It’s a good skill, yeah it really is… except that I still get hit by crits
yep you heard right.. the supposed to be block skill doesn’t work right then, let’s get to Shackling Wave,the skill that you can use after blocking an attack, the damage is really low increase it and add 3 vuln stacks or just increase th damage
The last one Skill 5: This one is okay except the damage,just make is higher PLEASE also let us evade during sliding back or whatever we do there OR JUST MAKE US INVULNERABLE SO THAT IT’S NOT BEING COMPLAINED THAT IT’S OVERPOWERED, concept is pretty nice but first get it to work please, the pull doen’t work sometimes even on mobs WITHOUT defiance or the break bar
Thanks for reading till here, please think about there concerns it would make every Sword Shiro Revenant a lot happier and they might start liking Sword 3 again (BUFF DMG PLEASE, STAFF DOES WAY MORE DPS THAN SWORD) also Unrelenting Aussault destroys your DPS Spike because of the low damage

Now to the Shiro Legend Skills:
Heal Skill: The initial heal is really low and you can’t use it as a real HEAL SKILL which are intended to be used when you are about to die but no this one is a really low heal AND a 1 second cooldown on the dagger which means the damage spike is lower as well as the healing part?… hmm okay thanks for that very useful healing skill
Ripsoting Shadows: Good skill, leave it as it is
Phase Traversal: Increase the damage a tiny bit and make us INVULNERABLE OR EVADING incoming attacks
Impossible Odds: Great Skill, just a condi clear (GW 1) would be nice too, or we have nothing to wash away the guardian burn stacks
Jade Wind : great skill! leave it as it is

I am really liking Sword/Sword and Shiro so far. I find the damage from #1 and #3 really good. The individual damage on the #3 hits don’t do a ton of damage themselves, but you hit a lot of times, and you have more chances to proc fire/air, so the burst from that skill alone can actually be really high.

As far as the Shiro skills go, the heal is not meant to be used like any other “oh kitten I’m low” heal. You are supposed to use it when you still have a good amount of health so that you can take more hits when going in.

While the revenant sword does resemble the thief sword, remember that they are no designed to do the exact same thing, while an evade on #3 or #5 would be nice, we don’t need evades on everything. I’ve had a lot of fun playing it so far.

I do agree with you though, about skill #2. I can’t see myself ever using it, because I feel like there is always something better I could be doing. It is like thief pistol #2 or dagger #4. Sure you get a should cc condition, but it probably isn’t worth your time.
